About this listen
Two out of every three roofing sales reps quit or get fired in their first 12 months. Veterans burn out, drink, or quit. Owners and managers pour their hearts into new hires, watch them drop like flies, and question why they’re still in the game. Why? Because roofing sales is one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging careers on this planet.
I’ve been in the trenches, experienced it all, and have trained thousands or roofing sales pros just like you. This book is for those of us who bet on ourselves, take the leap, and want to prove what we’re capable of, both personally and financially. Get the real-world, straight-shooting survival guide to conquer the mental and emotional battlefield of roofing sales that no one else understands.
Listen to this book and:
- Discover your ultimate motivation that never burns out (way deeper than money).
- Conquer your competition even if it feels like they are doing the same thing as you.
- Defeat your inner demon that is fighting you every step of the way.
- Beat the threats hiding inside your success because earning good money creates new struggles.
- Be wildly successful, fulfilled, and happy in roofing sales!

For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

Reaffirming My Own Feelings - Adam Rocks
My Guy, I just listened to the survival guide and am going back for round 2. And probably 3 & 4. It just reaffirms everything that I'm going through. The emotions, the vibes, and a lot of the thoughts are confirmed.
Thank You. Sincerely.
I will tell you this. This is about the end of my 1st year of roofing and brother.... I am killing it. 1st time, actually doing sales. #1 guy in my company. Broken all the records. And I'm still here. Standing. Wanting to learn more.
God Bless You, Adam. This book is exactly what you said it would be. It's not another training book that teaches you tricks&tips, but rather a book explaining about How to Deal and Live with the Emotions and Feelings and the Life that comes with the Journey of a Roofer.
Thank You, A.B.

New perspective
I originally wanted to experience this book to gain a new perspective and I was not disappointed.
The book is more about self development, discipline, and self discovery than just sales. All of those things are actually the backbone of every great sales representative. The book gave me a better insight as to some of the common difficulties and roadblocks that every roofing salesman inevitably encounters.
Mainly highlighting the the self development aspect which is the most important and beneficial factor.
The money is merely a fringe benefit though it’s often the main reason one engages in the profession.
Thank you Adam for taking the time to write and narrate the book !

You’re not alone
That’s one of the main points you’re looking for when searching for a book: knowledge, relatability and wisdom. Adam Bensman covers all of these bases on his book. The fact that he is narrating his own book shows how passionate and consistent he is with his word. It’s a moral compass book for the journey of the Roofer, not a sales tactic book. Pick one up if you are running the Roofing marathon.

Adam Bensman clearly communicates what it takes to be mentally prepared in order to be successful in this business. I would recommend this book to anyone entering the field of roof sales. Only complaint is I wish it was longer! But he also has hours or free content on YouTube. Cheers Adam!
